Report Abuse. The collision of an oceanic plate, and a continental plate produce a plate boundary known as a subduction zone. The colder, denser [typically basaltic crust (approx. 3.3g/cm^3)] oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense [typically granitic (d= 2.7)] continental crust.
exists and is an alternate of . The continental plate is less dense that the oceanic plate and so sinks underneath the oceanic plate. The oceanic plate holds water and so when the continental plate sinks underneath it, the water from the oceanic plate covers the continental plate.
